Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

[alagaisia]

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

[alagaisia]

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

[watermelon-converse]

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

[emi--rose]

Hell yeah moon holiday

[hello-delicious-tea]

Ooh coming up we should celebrate

[ariaste]

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

Round 1 - 2026 (Costume Art / Fashion is Art) - Match 50 of 128

Kylie Jenner (Schiaparelli), left

No explanation found.

vs. Camila Mendes (Manish Malhotra), right

"[The look was] rooted in the painted world of Amrita Sher-Gil, one of India’s most iconic and emotionally charged artists. Conceived as a continuum of dry brushstrokes, the French chiffon gown was entirely hand-ruched, each fold placed with precision to create a painterly, sculptural effect. "[Manish and his team] came in with a very clear vision inspired by the women depicted in Amrita Sher-Gil’s paintings, and it felt like we’re creating something that paid homage to this iconic Indian artist, while also honoring my own unique style and taste. ... The color immediately stood out to me because it’s not commonly worn on red carpets, and the uniqueness of it intrigued me. Also the way the fabric was draped across my shoulder and wrapped around my arm felt very sculptural, almost like the dress was interacting with my body. The dress code this year was “fashion is art” and this idea of the dressed body, and I felt like Manish and his team understood how to dress my body in a way that was incredibly artistic."" (x)

Whose outfit was better?

Kylie Jenner

Camila Mendes

Look. Everyone. The Schiaparelli dress is my favourite of this year's gala and I have to tell everyone about it. It's not something you'd wear at a normal event (like a wedding or a graduation ball), but to me, it captures the theme perfectly.

Many dresses on this gala have descriptions like "the body is the canvas" and thus they show a lot of it (which is completely valid as well!), but this dress takes a different approach. Yes, the upper body of the model is visible, but it's because it shows the construction of the corset! Corsetry is very difficult and requires a lot of practice and precision, there are hours of work that go into every single corset ever. And you know what it is?

It is art.

Like the gala's theme: Fashion. Is. Art.

Also the skirt part is so beautiful?? All that beadwork, which as far as I'm aware was done entirely by hand?

Gorgeous.

Propaganda:

Tuck is very sensitive and shy, and gets really annoyed if you invade his space/touch his stuff/anything visual is changed.

[magicznapikpik]

WAIT I've been thinking about this show a few days ago and I tried to explain it to someone to see if they know the title, but I couldn't remember anything about the plot (I watched it when I was like. three years old or so), just the visual style which I couldn't describe with words, and I was slowly starting to think that maybe I made it up or dreamt about it, and I couldn't look online for it, because I didn't remember the title or any keywords. Anyway thank you for posting this poll, I thought I was losing my mind

[pierrebeasley]

Are you in charge of the spotify algorithm?

Asking 'cause it's just put some Balu Brigada to this "daylist" thing it does for some reason (I don't listen to those "daylists", but I do sometimes check what's inside to see what the algorithm thinks about me)

LMAO I AM NOT BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I SHOULD BE ACTUALLY

i have no idea what's backseat doing there but maybe that means you should give it a listen 😭

[magicznapikpik]

Also the algorithm was right when it suggested Backseat. I listened to Portal and it is my favourite song there.

[infiniteoreos]

undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal

[thundercrackfic]

This is called a fault tree. You will always know how to act if your fault tree captures all possible scenarios. In NASA Mission Control during mission critical events like landings there are huge binders with fault tree protocols, kind of like choose your own adventure books except you’re not the one making the choices, the universe is making them for you and you’re just trying to keep up.

The engineers who develop fault trees, I am told, often imagine new ways for their precious spacecraft to die (new branches on the fault trees) either while in the shower or lying awake at 3am, because human

Was just thinking about this the other day. Yeah I have a favorite seat on the bus (middle of the bus, near the back doors, slightly elevated, facing forward), but I don’t get upset if someone is already sitting there, I just pick one of my other favorite spots. Then I realized that most people probably don’t have a favorite bus seat, let alone a series of backup favorites.

[yet-another-autistic-blog]

Someone asked for more info about my favorite bus seats. Here is a very shitty drawing I did on my phone just now to illustrate my favorite and backups:

[magicznapikpik]

Why are there stairs inside the bus? I was imagining a city bus, and your drawing looks more like a long-distance bus, but still. It has stairs inside. I get having stairs near the doors in long-distance buses, but inside?? I've never seen a bus like that.

[magicznapikpik]

Um okay so the Good Omens Finale happened. How we feeling chat?

I liked most of it. I genuinely liked everything that happened until... until God appeared. Before that, the plot felt a bit rushed, but it's completely understandable, given The Circumstances, so I'm not mad or disappointed about that, I just accepted it.

But?? The ending?? What the heck??

I'm really really happy we've got the Finale and I liked it more than I disliked it, I just have a few issues with the way it ended.

[beginnerblueglass]

I realized that Tyler Joseph equipped me to love and value genuine human-made art of any quality and to hate ai when he said, "Nobody thinks what you think," and when he said, "Are you searching for purpose? Then write something, yeah it might be worthless, then paint something, yeah it might be wordless. Pointless curses, nonsense verses, you'll see purpose start to surface," and when he said, "We are creative people," and when he said, "They will play a game and say they know what you're going through," and when he said, "They don't know you, and neither do I," and when he said, "Faith is to be awake, and to be awake is for us to think, and for us to think is to be alive, and I will try with every rhyme to come across like I am dying to let you know you need to try to think."

[magicznapikpik]

I love how this post ends on a lyric from Car Radio, because this song literally saved my life. Every Car Radio reference everywhere is appreciated.

Yeah, the act of creation itself, even if the finished piece is bad, is priceless. Recently I started drawing pictures made of Twenty One Pilots' song lyrics. Are they good? No, I can't draw at all, I know nothing about composition or shading or anything. But I have so much fun trying to stuff another sentence onto the already crowded page, putting my favourite colour pencils to work, using way too many glitter pens. It helps clear my mind and calm down and even though those pictures are full of flaws, I love looking at them afterwards. They are very much mine and I love them.

Which song fucks you up more?

Road To Hell (Reprise)

Calma Vladimir

Voting ended onApr 27

Road To Hell, Reprise (Hadestown)

It's a sad song/But we sing it anyway/'Cause here’s the thing/To know how it ends/And still begin to sing it again/As if it might turn out this time/I learned that from a friend of mine

"Orpheus and Eurydice are doomed from the beginning but we tell their story again and again because of the desperate hope they may get a happy ending, and that hope in and of itself is reason enough"

Calma Vladimir (El Cuarteto de Nos)

Stop screaming, stop running stop dramatizing, put your Hell in the freezer to exorcize your life/That's all I wanted, but you're not letting me, you're making me nervous, you're making me mad!/You didn't understand any of what I tried to tell you!/Serenity is the only thing to accept what cannot be changed/and if you lose your way you'll have to scream to save yourself

"The singer is trying to calm someone down from a panic attack by using therapy speak, but as the song goes on they get more and more frustrated because this person isn't listening to them, until they explode with anger in the third verse. After that there's an instrumental of what I interpret to be the other person's internal thoughts, it's orchestral, it drowns out everything, it feels like the world is burning down around you, and the only voice that can be heard is someone desperately yelling "CALM DOWN! CALM DOWN! BREATHE! BREATHE!" This song is "panic attack: music form" and by God does it fuck me up it's way too real."

Why does everyone who really really like yellow like, really go fucking insane over the colour yellow

Like, with blue people it’s like “oh yeah I like blue”

But with yellow poeple it’s like “OH MY GOD I LOVE YELLOW”

We share braincells with the purple people 💜💛

[magicznapikpik]

As a purple person whose second favourite colour is yellow, OH MY GOD I LOVE PURPLE & YELLOW

I know it’s way, WAY too early to think about next year’s Oscars, but I just wanna say that if Project Hail Mary gets nominations then I hope the Rocky puppet makes an appearance at the show

[magicznapikpik]

I've been thinking the same thing ever since I found out he's a real puppet. Remember how in 2016-ish the Star Wars droids appeared? I spent the next few days wondering how BB-8 moves and it genuinely made me so happy.

Seeing Rocky roll in in his little xenonite ball would be so fun

[hazard-symbols-that-fuck-hard]

hot tip for anyone living in any city bigger than Lancaster, CA:

figure out where your local art galleries are and find out when they have receptions

they’re always free to go to and they usually have free food. no one cares if you actually know anything about art or not. or even if you like art

because friday evenings are standard, events will often overlap, so you can go gallery-hopping and get a full dinner

[magicznapikpik]

Works for conferences and university students as well. One day last semester, there was a big conference on my faculty and there was food for the guests in the hallway. We had classes late in the afternoon. We asked our professor if we could eat the food, because there was a lot of it and the conference seemed to have finished.

He said he didn't know, but he could ask. So during the break he went there (and a group of hungry students, including me, went there with him) and he asked the catering staff if the event had already ended. They said that yes, the event was over, and that there were a lot of leftovers they would have to throw away if nobody ate it.

So we all could eat a full dinner (there were potatoes and two kinds of meat and fish and a vegan option and side vegetables and everything). When we finished, the professor told us that we should take the desserts for everyone who stayed in the classroom. So each of us took a handful of tiny cupcakes (they were DELICIOUS) and then we shared them with our classmates.

We were happy, because we had free food. The catering staff was happy, because they didn't have to throw it away. The faculty's budget wasn't affected, because the food was there anyway. Win-win situation for everyone.

[booktomoviebrawl]

If I wanted to get into the witcher (? Is that its full name?) does anyone have any recommendations for like. How to do that. I know there's game(s?) I know there's a show I think? There might be books? What's going on here what will give me the swiftest/best experience

[booktomoviebrawl]

Okay fine my real motivations: if I wanted to read THIS SERIES SPECIFICALLY but I didn't want to be confused about anything. What is the recommended reading/watching/playing. This is the second most kudos'ed fic on ao3 for the witcher so statistically one of you knows something or knows a guy who knows a guy

[magicznapikpik]

The Witcher books came first and they are really fun. They can get dark at times (as someone mentioned in the comments – look up trigger warnings if you're worried about that), but there's also humour. If you don't speak Polish, find a translation that is FUNNY. If your Witcher isn't funny, it's a bad sign (it was the first thing that I found off about the Netflix show. The first season was... acceptable story-wise, but it lacked The Funny. And then it only got worse from that). I didn't play the games, but my gamer friends mostly describe The Witcher 3 as the best one, so if you can get it from a library, it's probably a good choice.

Have fun!

What if Ryland knows basic programming because he did something similar for his students to make lessons more interesting?

[magicznapikpik]

That's a cute idea and I really like the idea of him making lessons more interesting for the kids this way, but – unfortunately – I'm sure he knows basic programming just because he's a scientist.

Currently scientists in all STEM fields have to know at least some programming, because we're dealing with a lot of data and a lot of complex equipment and a lot of software. I'm studying astronomy and we already learned programming in the language C last semester (which was really cool) and now we're learning Python (which is also fun) and MATLAB (which I absolutely hate)

OH MY GOD they screened Good Omens 3 for cast and crew LAST NIGHT??!!!

I’m gonna throw up

It’s really happening

A part of me was too scared to ever fully put my hopes in it, but oh my god THIS IS NOT A DRILL it has been SEEN it EXISTS some people KNOW THE END AAAAHAHAHHHHHH

CRYING, SCREAMING, THROWING UP 😭😭😭

[magicznapikpik]

Okay so that means that not only my Project Hail Mary obsession is resurfacing because of an upcoming movie, but my Good Omens obsession is resurfacing because of an upcoming movie as well?

It's gonna be a lovely few months. Full of infodumping to my friends and family and classmates about those two stories. Hell yeah.
